Sports Injuries

We have treated acute and chronic sports injuries for many years using manipulation and acupuncture, and we have plenty of experience in sorting out those which don't settle quickly and which go on to become chronic. Our aim is to get you back to your sport as fast as possible, and we are delighted to welcome a new practitioner to the practice who brings different treatment methods for successfully treating acute and chronic sports problems.

He has extensive experience in rehabilitating injured servicemen through his work at Headley Court and at Colchester Garrison, but has also worked with athletes and sportsmen at a very high level.

For some patients, a combination of different treatments such as manipulation and acupuncture together will prove to be effective to get them back to their old sport or activity. For others the best approach may be a course of exercise and rehabilitation.

Not a lot of people know.......

that the oldest winner of an Olympic Medal was 73 years old. John Copley won a silver medal in the last London Olympic Games in 1948, in the engravings and etchings competition. The oldest Olympic medallist outside the art competitions was Swedish shooter Oscar Swahn, who won his last medal at age 72.

The art section of the Olympic Games was dropped in 1954, because the artists were considered to be professionals, while the athletes had to be amateurs.
